Replacement for MacOS' HUDs.



Every day you change your volume or brightness and an ugly and unbelievably old overlay animation appears. *SlimHUD* is what you need.

## Features - Settings

Each feature can be toggled from the settings window.
To access the settings window start SlimHUD again, while it's already running. The settings window will appear:














Here's are some of the things you can customise:



* When changing volume / brightness / keyboard's backlight a small **icon** is shown under the bar.



* If you don't like the flat look of the bar you can enable a **shadow** effect.



	




* There are multiple **animation** styles: 



||||||||

|--:|---|---|---|---|---|--:|



* Continuously check for changes (*recommended if you use a **TouchBar***): shows the HUDs when using the volume / brightness slider.



* Each bar (volume / brightness / keyboard's backlight) has it's own **color**.
You can also choose the color of the volume when its muted.








* Each **icon** (volume / brightness / keyboard's backlight) also has it's own color! [1](#note1)



* If you think that the default bar is too small you can easily adjust its **size**.



||||

|--:|---|--:|



* The HUDs can appear on any **edge**: left, right, bottom or top; it's up to you!



|||

|--:|---|

* Lastly don't forget to enable the **launch at login** function!



[1](#note1):

> Only available in MacOS 10.14 and later.
